What Some of our Exchanges say of it.

What Some of our Exchanges say OF It.
To be able to appreciate health and pros
perity, one must know what sickness and
adversely are and SO the country newspa-
per publisher who has toiled and strug-
gled along for years embarrassed by the
slow process of printing his edition with
an old-time hand-preSs, knows how TO ap-
preciate the change to an improved cylln-
der power press of modern times. And
when that change has been brought about
by admiring friends and synpathizers as
gift from them, then 1T is to be douoiy ap-
preciated. And so it has been with our
talented and energetic young friend j. III.
Lindsay, Esq, editor and proprietor OF the
kernersville Meas and Ftirm, and secre-
tary and treasurer of the North Carolina
Press Association. Approaching the dis
advantages he was laboring under by
being forced to use a hand-presS in the
publication of his paper, with the object III
view of better preparing him for better
work, number of the leading business
men of kernersville dubbed together and
made up purse and presented it to him
as an evidence of their appreciation OF his
services to the town and community. Inc
result is the Ne.cs and Farm Office has just
been fitted up with a 81 600 Campbell
printing press, and it goes without saying
if the paper has exerted power and inhu-
ence for good heretofore, now it will be en-.
ahlea to WELD still greater one. No per-
son is more competent to testify as to the
advantages of machine of this kind, and
commenting On the proposed industrial
edition of the GOLD LEAF. the object OF
which is to similarly equip ourself, Broth
er Lindsay very kindly has this to say In
our behalf
LET MERIT BE REWARDED.
IF there has been weekly newspaper IN
North Carolina that has striven harder to
build up its town and county, ana SHOWN
greater devotion for the work than any
other, we believe it is the Henderson GOLD
LEAF. Vance county had attained rep
utation OF being poor place in which to
run a paper, and those hitherto published
had proven anything else than hnanciaI
successes. When Thad Manning went there
and established the GOLD LEAF, he threw
into the work vim and wholc-souled zeal
that turned the tide, and the paper lived.
What has it done for Henderson and the
people of Vance county? Rather, what has
it not done for them? 1t has been answer
wing in its allegiance. 1t has advertised
the resources, advantages and glorious
Possibilities OF Henderson as lew papers
would have done. 1t has always been
credit to the town and the best advertise
ment it could possibly have had. Mr.
Manning has been untiring In his zeal
He has been in love " it'll the work. Sure

We are glad to know that there is now an
opportunity for the business men of Hen
derson to make suitable return and show
to the world that they are proud OF theil
paper and appreciate what it has done and
is doing Every paper that is compelled u
use a hand-press labOrS under great disad
yantages. The GOLD LEAF is doing this
and it should do so no longer. Mr.. Man
